Popis: The histologic spectrum of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) includes fatty liver (NAFL) and steatohepatitis (NASH), which can progress to cirrhosis in up to 20% NASH patients. Bile acids (BA) are linked to pathogenesis and therapy of NASH. We (a) characterized plasma BA profile in biopsy proven NAFL and NASH, and compared to controls, and (b) related plasma BA profile to liver histologic features, disease activity and fibrosis. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry quantified BAs. Descriptive statistics, paired and multiple group comparisons, and regression analyses were performed. Eighty six patients (24 controls, 25 NAFL and 37 NASH, mean age 51.8 years and BMI 31.9 kg/m2), 66% were women. Increased total primary BAs and decreased secondary BAs (both p
